My standard quote for any short fly ball or really in any sporting event where someone comes up obviously short is, "I don't think this ones got the distance..."

Yes, yes, a million times yes. Dumb and Dumber is one of my favorite movies of all time and even if this one is incredibly stupid and the lowest of low brow humor, it will be right on par with that cinematic masterpiece.

I heard that Sylvester Stallone wrote The Expendables with The Alex in mind. He had to keep it realistic though and split The Alex's abilities into multiple characters. Stallone thought that critics would pan it for being too far-fetched if he just had one character effing everyone up.

The talent attached to the film is off the charts. Gareth Edwards, Frank Darabont and Bryan Cranston. Easily my most anticipated movie of 2014.

I cannot wait to see Gravity on Monday. I have been eagerly awaiting it for years. Such a great month for film in any case. 12 Years a Slave coming out soon which I am ever more excited for than Gravity. Steve McQueen is one of the greats.

Visually it was great. As far as me being that invested into Ryan Stone's plight, I wasn't that enticed. She was in a horrible, horrible situation. But it wasn't something I hadn't seen before in other films with that kind of premise. Essentially, survival movies. Kind of basic and a little formulaic. The movie wasn't that long either. Only 91 minutes. I loved Clooney though for what we got from him. Damn fine actor.

It was completely unique in how it was filmed, and realistic for the survival story they wanted to tell.

They released the trailer and post right after Tom Clancy passed. Stay classy Hollywood.

This is different than any of the other movies?

Sum of all Fears was ruined by Ben Affleck and the dumb Neo-Nazi villains that they subbed out for Islamic terrorists since that it was too soon after 9/11.

This new movie looks just like any Bourne/Bond movie. More specifically, Jack Ryan is an Analyst and then President in the Clancy novels. He shouldn't be in chase scenes and punching fights. If you go down that route they should've at least used the John Clark character.
